Clamp On Line Tensionmeter

The COLT is a lightweight tensionmeter for fast and accurate measurement of conductor, catenary and wire rope tensions up to 5000 kgf and up to 25mm diameter.

Manufactured using an integral, high accuracy, Bluetooth module the COLT transmits load data wirelessly to any smart device running our Android or iOS app. As the library of conductor and wire rope diameters and constructions is increased each app user will benefit when they update and receive any new data.

A useful data-logging feature within the app allows the operator to log changes in tension v time and date if required; this data can then be emailed or uploaded to the cloud straight from the smart device in use.

Constructed from aerospace grade aluminium the COLT digital tensionmeter is lightweight and easy to handle and operates on wires that are already under tension.

Once in place it allows the operator to quickly check tension on conductors or wire ropes set at any angle. A built-in smart device holder allows the COLT to be used as a traditional tensionmeter with on-board display or the smartphone may be handheld or mounted elsewhere.

Supplied in a purpose-made carry case the COLT is portable and utilises standard alkaline batteries making this perfect for on-site conductor and cable tension measurement across the world.
